Check out our Picks To Win below!

Kirk's Pick:
Basia Bulat - Good Advice
I've been following Basia Bulat for a few years, and this is her best album yet. How can it not be when produced by My Morning Jacket's Jim James?
Plus, no matter how much I listen to "Infamous" is still crushes me every time.

Christine's Pick:
Andy Shauf - The Party
Honestly the short list is great and I'd be happy with so many of these albums winning, but I have loved Andy Shauf's music for years, The Party is excellent and I hope this does wonderful things for his music career. Shauf for the win!

Jess' Pick:
Basia Bulat - Good Advice
I also picked Good Advice because Bulat has been nominated 3 times, it's the most listen-on-repeatable, while still making dramatic artistic changes from her last few records, and always getting better with time.
